Unauthorized Barcode Incidents

GS1 Malaysia takes recent unauthorized number incidents very seriously.

Important: GS1 Malaysia does not recognize, endorse or support any 3rd party that sells GS1 barcodes or memberships or claims they are an authorized reseller. You can only get GS1's unique identification directly from GS1!

Avoid Fraudulent Offers

Avoid misinformation and fraudulent offers from unauthorized barcode resellers such as:

• Barcodes Malaysia
• Barcode Savers
• Hani of OEM Group (+6011-****8380)

These entities directly undermine and mislead our members about GS1 integrity, uniqueness and ubiquity.

Self-Verification

Perform a Self Check through the Member Product Databank (part of GS1 Malaysia Verified by GS1 & GAC Support & Services) to audit and validate your authorized GS1 barcode number.
